Do you ever experience client no-shows, incomplete homework tasks or withdrawals from therapy? Would you feel more effective if you had a method for addressing these patterns to enhance engagement in therapy? Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a unique therapy modality that targets these therapy-interfering behaviours as a main focus of the treatment. In this webinar we will draw from evidenced-based principles from DBT that can assist you in reducing absenteeism, improve engagement in therapy tasks and retain clients in therapy to ultimately promote better outcomes.

The Association of Municipalities of Ontario and partners have released a comprehensive report titled "Municipalities Under Pressure: The Growing Human and Financial Cost of Ontario's Homelessness Crisis" that outlines the scope and scale of the crisis, how much worse it may get if we don’t take action now, and practical investments that could help end the human tragedy and improve the quality of life in communities across Ontario.
